>Can I do all the maintenance necessary for a cast iron without an oven ?
First time seasoning you need to do inside the oven, I guess what this anon said could work as well >>11212247.
As to following maintenance or cleaning see these two posts

Also this about my stainless steel pan that works great.

One thing with ssteel pans, must be good quality ss pan, mid grade or low grade are not good, better buy used high quality ss pan than brand new but crappy cheap quality.
I love my LIFETIME Custom Designed T304 Stainless Steel pan 8.5"
google the name and read about them, they are superb.

As per my bad picture >>11202554 and >>11202688
the original nice seasoning I did few years ago is kind off gone now I guess,
but I noticed that by doing cleaning without soap and water just with the blue towel I don't really need to season it again, somehow it works good like that,
even with onions, potatoes or tomatoes I don't have to worry now that my seasoning will be stripped, it's gone anyways but the food doesn't stick to the pan.
It's bit strange because I should have problems cooking those foods but it works.
Maybe because I almost exclusively use avocado oil, maybe that helps.
But maybe longer contact of onions in it like you did would mess them up in my pan as well.

I just tried to fry eggs in my enamel covered cast iron pan and they stick very badly to it,
but I have good quality Lifetime Custom Designed T304 Stainless Steel pan 8.5", and it works great for frying eggs,
I'm trying to reduce my use of cast iron pans, but I'm not too paranoid or scared about the info in the article.
